Action: Open string height at standard pitch at 12th fret = 5/64ths on low E, 4/64ths on high E. This is a comfortable string action for me with no buzz and clear notes up & down the neck. Please note that the bridge is at its lowest setting already.
This guitar comes with a brand new Crossrock Les Paul hard shell guitar case worth $150. This cost can be subtracted from the total if you don't require a case.
Ernie Ball Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings 9's (Gauges .009, .011, .016, .024w, .032, .042). Extra set included with guitar.
